Downlight installation

Why choose LED downlights?

LED downlights offer the perfect combination of performance, efficiency, and style. They use a fraction of the power of traditional bulbs while producing clean, bright light that instantly enhances your home.

Energy efficiency and cost savings

Lighting accounts for around 30% of the average household’s electricity use. By switching to LED downlights, you can reduce your energy consumption by up to 80%, which translates to noticeable savings on your electricity bills month after month.

Long-lasting performance

With an average lifespan of 50,000 hours, LED lights can last more than 15 times longer than halogen bulbs. That means fewer replacements, less maintenance, and more years of dependable light.

Cooler, safer operation

LED bulbs produce far less heat than older bulbs, keeping your rooms cooler and reducing the risk of burns or overheating. They’re also free from toxic materials and completely recyclable, making them a safer and more environmentally friendly option.

Better lighting, tailored to your space

LED downlights come in a range of brightness levels and colour temperatures, allowing you to choose warmer tones for living spaces or crisp white light for kitchens and bathrooms. They can also be paired with dimmer switches or smart home systems for complete control over your lighting atmosphere.

The LED downlight installation process

LED downlights differ to standard bulbs. Instead of simply popping or screwing them into a holder, they need to be properly wired into your ceiling by a licensed electrician. This ensures the fittings are secure, the wiring is compliant, and the lights operate safely and efficiently.

We take care of the entire process, ensuring your new lighting is installed safely and correctly.

  1. Consultation and assessment – We start by discussing your goals and inspecting your existing lighting layout. We’ll help you select the right number and placement of fittings to achieve even, effective lighting throughout your space.
  2. Product selection – We recommend high-quality LED downlights that meet Australian standards and suit your home’s design and electrical requirements.
  3. Safe, compliant installation – Our licensed electricians will remove any old fittings, install your new LEDs, and test everything to ensure it’s working safely and efficiently.
  4. Clean-up and completion – We tidy up when we’re done and provide a Certificate of Compliance, so you can rest easy knowing your lighting is professionally installed.

The cost?

While it may seem like a more expensive option initially, having LED downlights installed can offer considerable savings when compared with outdated incandescent lighting, or compact fluorescent light bulbs. We even created an easy to use LED calculator for you to see the savings. You’re always welcome to call us on 0411 188 492 and talk to our friendly team of Sydney electricians if you’d like to find out how much money you could save by installing LED downlights.

Greener lighting for modern Australian homes

If you’re conscious of your environmental impact, LED downlights are one of the easiest ways to make your home more sustainable. Compared to traditional lighting, LED bulbs produce significantly less CO₂ and waste, helping reduce your household’s carbon footprint. Over time, that’s better for both the planet and your pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do LED downlights work with dimmer switches?
Yes, but you’ll need compatible dimmer switches. We can supply and install the right type to ensure smooth, flicker-free dimming.
Can I replace my halogen downlights with LEDs?
Absolutely. In most cases, we can retrofit LEDs into existing fittings or upgrade your wiring if needed for safety and efficiency.
How long do LED downlights last?
On average, LED downlights last around 50,000 hours – that’s up to 15 years or more of regular household use.
Are LED downlights safe?
Yes. They emit very little heat, don’t contain hazardous materials, and are less likely to cause overheating than traditional light bulbs.
What colour temperature should I choose?
Warm white (2700–3000K) is ideal for living areas and bedrooms, while cool white (4000–5000K) works well in kitchens, bathrooms, and workspaces.
Do I need a licensed electrician to install LEDs?
Yes. Any installation involving electrical wiring must legally be carried out by a licensed electrician to ensure compliance and safety.
Can I replace halogen downlights with LED myself?
Yes, you can often replace halogen downlight bulbs with LED bulbs yourself in Sydney, but replacing the entire fitting requires a licensed electrician.
How many downlights do I need for my room?
This depends on your room size, ceiling height, and desired brightness. As a rough guide, you might need one downlight per 1.2–1.5 square metres, but we can provide a lighting layout tailored to your space.
Are LED downlights safe in ceilings with insulation?
Yes, when installed correctly. We use IC-rated fittings where needed, which means the light can safely contact insulation without overheating or posing a fire risk.

well. They’re prompt, reliable, helpful – and best of all, creative when we have a
difficult problem either in the house or around the garden. Just recently they replaced
our old lighting with brand new, energy and money-saving LEDs. They’re fabulous, a
hi-tech leap forward.”
